Dundalk – the shape of the team and its analysis:
"The Lilywhites" participated in the European qualification rounds last summer and ultimately finished fifth. However, this season has been challenging for the once-successful team. They failed to secure any victories in the first eleven rounds. After a 2-0 win against Bohemians, they managed only a draw and suffered a couple of defeats.
Their situation somewhat stabilized by the end of spring. In their last three rounds, they secured two victories, defeating St. Patrick's Athletic away and Sligo Rovers at home. Nevertheless, they still have a long way to go to reach eighth place.
Waterford – the shape of the team and its analysis:
"The Blues" were runners-up in the First Division last season. However, by winning the playoffs, they secured promotion to the Premier Division. Their primary goal was to establish themselves at this new level. Surprisingly, the team has exceeded expectations and remains among the leaders.
They started the season with seven points from their first four rounds. Although they experienced various periods of form, they managed to secure six victories in eight matches in May and June. Only in their most recent match did they lose at home to Shelbourne, a direct competitor who has now caught up with them on points. Otherwise, they could have entered the break in sole possession of first place.
